Until now, you had to use expensive add-on cards to play movies in high-quality MPEG-2 format from DVD or the Internet. But ELSAmovie computes film sequences extremely fast with flawless quality using the current generation of processors, for example, the Intel® Pentium®II or the AMD K6®-2.
ELSAmovie is clearly superior to conventional DVD decoders, because it provides full frame rates without compromises in picture or sound quality and with little load on the CPU. Intelligent control of the deinterlacing procedure in direct interplay with the graphics board driver is one of the many reasons for its impressive performance. In addition to the DVD player, the ELSAmovie CD-ROM provides a DVD menu with impressive video demos. This lets you try out the navigation directly even without a DVD drive and experience the clarity and wealth of detail provided by DVD technology.
